Exporting HDV
I am exporting an HDV movie – about 1 hour 40 minutes and it says it will take 6 hours to export… just days ago i exported the same movie and it only took an hour. i am doing nothing different….
I have to make a DVD – i will bring it into QUicktime pro and export it again with letterbox to make a dvd NTSC… everytime i use the same settings in final cut the aspect ratio is off. i’ve tested it many times

Several things could effect this, if the computer is also doing something else, or even your hard drives being more full could slow it down.

There is absolutely no reason to use quick time pro to help make a DVD. Simply export directly from FCP to using compressor and choose a DVD preset. This will take the HDV material and convert it to files that are ready to bring into DVD SP.
